Forster, Samaras and Perth

1353

When I researched yesterday’s article (yes, research does happen sometimes) I was far from encouraged.  Udinese had an impeccable home record and Snr Di Natale is one of Europe’s irresistible strikers at the moment.

We didn’t manage to resist Di Natale but he will remember Fraser Forster for a few years.  We have been fortunate to see a few great goalkeeping performances in Europe in the last decade but last night Fraser was second perhaps only to David Marshall that night in Barcelona.  That last minute penalty save against Hearts on Saturday has moved the player onto a new platform.

Udinese had a good 20 minute spell when they looked every inch the team joint top of the Italian league but they were on the rack in the closing stages of the game.  Cha DuRi has had an eventful Europa League on the road this season.  He was a bit unfortunate at the Udinese goal but completely out of luck when he twisted his body mid-air to volley off the post.

Watching Georgios Samaras last night was a lesson in how complex a game football can be.  This is a player who could not hold down a place in the SPL last season, yet playing in a different position he had top-flight defenders throwing themselves at him in order to inhibit progress.

There is still work to be done, but the return of three first choice defenders will enhance the team considerably.  The most pleasing thing about last night came after the game; Fraser Forster’s focus was immediately on St Johnstone.  It’s all about Perth now.

Issue 5 of CQN Magazine will be out soon.  Hard copies will be available direct, at a considerably reduced cost from our current Magcloud arrangement and with a fast delivery turnaround.  Details soon.

    No.2 scares me a little, I hear you. It’s probably number 23 for me. I can just imagine the photographer saying ‘hold it, that’s the look’.

    Then one cold December morning

     

    I awoke here in Kentucky

     

    And I found myself dreaming of Celtic once again

     

    I was committed to the Hoops

     

    Thought gone for 7 yrs or more

     

    In the papers the stories were poor

     

    Then a singing fest I did commence

     

    For the dignity of me

     

    But it seemed to me that my dug only gave a damn

     

    Oh but now I am a happy man

     

    I’ve joined my comrades on CQN

     

    and realised why I cared

     

     

    Ghuys and dhols.

     

     

    I must depart to watch a flick with Mrs Aipple. Tonight, don’t laugh, it is ‘Munich’ Something light you know?

     

     

    Not a barrel of laughs I know but hey, fun has been had already the nicht.

     

     

    I may not be a posting but am always a lurking and the craic is aye guid.

    And not just Wanyama, Matthews and All are Good. I think BANGURA will be Exceptional in Europe.

     

     

    Bangura will struggle in Scotland because of “Scotlands” football. I hope Mo proves me UTTERLY wrong.

     

     

    Celtics New Direction is proving to be Very Exciting.

    you know what petec

     

     

    this is exactly what happened last week, you couldn;’t back up any of your accusations and assertions.

     

     

    Last week it was opinions and assertions about religion and End-of-Days, and when I asked you to expand (about the meaning of red horse) you refused, and made some remark, which I’m sure you thought was delightfully withering, about me being less than a brilliant Celt, in your opinion of course. You were so withering that you didn’t feel me worthy of a link to one of your uplifting techno tunes.

     

     

    I commented tonight that I found your comment to be hurtful (and gratuitous), never mind that it avoided the question I asked.

     

     

    Tonight you have

     

    – avoided the opportunity to apologise for your remarks with a facetious video link

     

    – ignored my request to explain what comment I made last week that annoyed you so much

     

    – accused me of posting under other names

     

    – failed to support your accusations

     

     

    If you’re going to post, post honestly.

     

    If you’re going to assert your opinion as fact, back it up.

     

    If you’re going to accuse other posters of dishonesty, have proof.

     

     

    You have gone from being rude to being abusive, accusatory, and malicious.

     

    Please take this chance to explain, atone, and apologise.

  5. I blame the atheists and polytheists for our present problems and disagreements.

     

    The redtops and these page have become mere scrolls and papyrus vehicles to futher their plots against us.

     

    This is obviously a concerted attack on our monotheistic ideals embodied by the high priests and acolytes of the Green Brigade.

     

    The strangers and incomers from the Middle Kingdom are afraid of the recent conversions to the Green Brigade.

     

    But the GB cannot remain mum and will continue to raise their voices singing in unison:

     

    OOH AAH AMUN RA.

  19. Neil Lennon has spoken with great passion about the team and also about his opinion on antagonistic singing and banners.

     

     

    Time to take sides lads.

     

     

    I am with Celtic

     

     

    The other side is to be against Celtic but with the IRA

     

     

    Lines are drawn

     

     

    This editorial is clearly with Celtic but not clearly against the IRA

     

     

    Time to take a clear side Paul67 and how this blog will go forward as opinions are polarized.
